Adventures of a Small Town Boy

This prequel to A Boy A Bike Alaska! introduces readers to eighth-grade Jack Iverson as he experiences a year of adventures.

Time for a change

Jack Iverson had always loved to read exciting books and talk his best friends Davie and Trevor into acting out the adventures. But the summer before eighth grade, things started to change. It was time to have some real-life adventures of their own in their hometown of Mt. Shasta, California. It started with digging a makeshift backyard pool with his Dad and ended with climbing Mt. Shasta with his Mom. It was a year he would never forget.

"Look out world. Here I come!"

From hard work to fun with his friends, Jack always had a positive attitude and found plenty of adventures along the way.

•Building a tree fort in a very tall tree and experiencing the terrifying exhilaration of swaying in the wind
•Spending the night alone in the woods
•Improving his baseball game
•Rescuing his friend from a flood
•Helping catch a thief
•Getting to know the new girl next door
•Learning how to build and sail a boat

Life was never dull, and that year was just the beginning of Jack's thirst for adventure.
